I find it the middle ground between what both you and Jeff say. It's just "Meh". Not a single thing about it is spectacular. Story is far from amazing, it's about as dull and as much of a snoozer as I've ever watched. Some effects are pretty cool though I agree. Also their costumes are nothing special, and wouldn't take anything to design.

It's all a matter of opinion though. I wouldn't stop from watching it, or give them shit for it either :P.

What kind of movies do you guys like? Just curious. Into any Sci-Fi at all? I've got a buddy that is the same way, really dislikes the sci-fi 3 hour movies (LOTR/Star Wars/etc).
